I have got some 2nd hand, I think pair of Borneo's Nubuk leather upper. However on one boot basically the lower four metal ringlet thingys have gone a bit rusty, they still do there job of holding a lace but I was wondering if you could get them replaced at a specialist, and when getting wet will no doubt further deterioate, anything I can coat them in maybe?
Also regarding cleaning and getting the leather back to its glory do you have to use meindl products or will any nubuk products be okay?
Is there a boot cleaning F.A.Q anywhere if this has been done to death before?

Hi Peter
Try these guys lsr.gb.comhome.htmOpen ↗ They appear very professional but they do check things like the waterproof layer which may come in handy as your boots are second hand.
I haven't tried them myself though I do know about them because of a recommendation by somebody else

I used this company to resole and service my Meindl Nepal Pro. Used their postal service and it was prompt, with good work on the new soles and waterproofing. Worth using.
About to have their first serious outing in The Lakes this week.

Hiya!! Pleased to meet you too! I thought I would be quite safe using my nickname as a handle in the group, I didn't realise there were quite so many of us about! lol
I'm Fran as in Francesca. I live in North London but I'm moving up to Newark in a couple of months
I can't say I know Rhondda as I have never been to Wales, apart from a long weekend as a school trip, unfortunately, though not for the lack of trying. My partner has family living in Wales, near the Brecons, so maybe this year we'll finally make plans for a visit. From what I can remember of my school trip the walking is fantastic there
